I fully understand arguments for more gun control and for less guns in circulation. But let us talk reality. America is not disarming. Republicans across this Great Nation are accumulating guns like crazy. They are preparing for a slaughter. And if they're the only ones with guns, guess who's in their crosshairs? You and me. Democrats. Good people everywhere. Non-believers in their cause of fascism, in their Dear Leader. As much as each of us may wish guns weren't a fact of life in these United States, reality is, they are. It's been said that the Holocaust wouldn't have happened if Germany had had our Second Amendment. Whether or not that's true, I suggest we all arm ourselves for the eventuality the browns shirts return. And maybe when they see their opponents have guns too, they'll be more receptive to a mutual disarming.

Going out willy nilly with guns would then get the fed military on our asses. And you don't even want to think about the firepower you'd face.

I’ve lost too many friends to gun violence.

There’s no way in heaven I would have one of those in my home or on my person.

Pepper spray, absolutely. If I am overcome and it’s used against me I’ll still be living, unlike some. 😓

By the way, there’s a forum for posts like this.
